5 oz. Aroma is a mango , peach combo. Flavor shows a pretty good amount tropical fruit. Alcohol is totally hidden. Dangerously easy to drink. Wow!!

Taster pour at the brewery. Appearance is lightly hazy--mostly clear--yellow with no sparkle, 1/2-finger width white head with poor retention and nice leggy lacing. Aroma is moderately strong fruit, mild herb. Taste is fruitiness but getting herbal quality, too. More of the herbal than the apricot. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft-to-lively carbonation and finish is more fruity than herbal. Overall, I get more herb (perhaps what they were referring to by floral funk?) than fruit, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The Aromas are fruity, citrusy Hops and paper. Flavors are somewhat like nose, bittersweet with bitterness and alcohol coming on stronger in the Finish.

Draught at Canary Square, 10/15/16.
Nearly soupy, indeed, as a good NE IPA often is, with a deep, apricot-orange-golden body and a medium-sized, yellow-flecked white head showing moderate retention.
Didn’t read about this beer prior to having it and thought it was just an unfruited NE DIPA. And in the nose, while the apricot is certainly there, it’s got papaya, mango, lemon, orange and peach to go along with it and can easily be taken for a hop note. There’s a good balance of juicy fruits and light acidity, though this thing is by no means resinous. No sign of pine and grapefruit. Malts behind are substantial but fairly dry, it would seem, adding biscuit, cracker, light graham cracker and a touch of honey. No alcohol and clean.
Very soft, malty texture with good attenuation and a little bit of residual fruit sugar. Bitterness is moderate and the thing is juicy as all hell. Nectarines, apricot, mango, papaya and oranges all give a zesty, fruity, juicy character and there’s gentle to moderate acidity from the apricot puree, as well. It all comes in very nicely balanced and for a beer this strong, it’s quite drinkable. Low but fairly engaging carbonation, not boozy and no flaws.
